Anonymous Coward User ID: 78105346 Finland 10/23/2019 07:46 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | "Our machine performed the target computation in 200 seconds, and from measurements in our experiment we determined that it would take the world's fastest supercomputer 10,000 years to produce a similar output," Google researchers said in a blog post about the work. The achievement, which leaked into the limelight in September with a premature paper publication, doesn't mean the beginning of the end for classical computers, at least in the view of today's quantum computing experts. Quantum computers are expected to be good at some particular chores -- optimizing investment portfolios and developing new drugs at the molecular level, for example -- but not most of what we do today on computers.

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 78033761 New Zealand 10/23/2019 07:54 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A Google quantum computer has far outpaced ordinary computing technology, an achievement called quantum supremacy that's an important milestone for a revolutionary way of processing data. Google disclosed the results in the journal Nature on Wednesday. The achievement came after more than a decade of work at Google, including the use of its own quantum computing chip, called Sycamore. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78105346 "Our machine performed the target computation in 200 seconds, and from measurements in our experiment we determined that it would take the world's fastest supercomputer 10,000 years to produce a similar output," Google researchers said in a blog post about the work.

Great for cutting grass, but useless at everything else. |

Jesus Christ speaks through me. because i am therefore i am. the qubit machine is simply a tool. and all tools are weapons unless given credit where due. the credit is all the fathers. both plant human animal and mushroom. i summon the snowpocolpyse mwhahahahahahaha lol |
